Going on the offense is tempting, but the main idea is to sink the merchants which we all know. With a slow moving convoy I usually will plot their course and knuckle around several miles ahead of them to position myself accordingly and wait. One would think that at an all stop with silent running at about 75 feet the AI would not detect me, but usually, magically they do. They manage to do this without active sonar to boot...? So, I found that if I hide under the layer until the first destroyer has passed I come up to PD to attack and then go deep and change course 180 degrees. Then I repeat the process after the convoy has regrouped and has proceeded once again. If Ai has detected you, the only way to evade is to use the thermals and decoys and slip away by sprinting and drifting.
